An Easy Lesson In the Pronunciation OF

scription of Fishes Which Possess the
Power of Flying Through the Air.
Some fishes have pectoral fins, as those
upon the chest are termed so large that by
means of them they are sustained In what ap-
pears a short flight through the air, and to
such the name Of flying fish has been given
Whether these fishes really use their fins as
wings is question not yet decided Some
observers maintain that they do. though only
for so long time Of course, "a the fins re-
main moist. Many authorities in natural
history are, however, Of opinion that tho
wings simply act like q parachute or kite
sustaining the fish after it has leaped into the
air.
There are more than thirty distinct species
of flying fish. Two species have been occa-
sionally seen Off the British coast, one is COM
mon in the Mediterranean sea, and five have
been found along our own shores; but in
general they are most abundant in the warmer
waters Of the tropics.

flights until at last they sink exhausted.

A VERY rich body of ore has been
struck in the Wilson mine, Wagon
town, which reminds us very much OF
the strike in the Poorman mine IN
1865. We have not seen the lode
where struck, but the ore shown US
is rs rich as that found in the Poor
man in 1865. The silver can be
whitfield, and will assay way up. We
are told that the lode is about four
feet wide, and that it will average at
least 5000 per ton. Should the chute
of ore hold out the owners of the Will
son mine will have genuine bonanzs
of silver as we'll as of gold. The

Mr.. F. 7. Dubois, accompanied by
Mr.. F. Wood, assistant u. S. Prose.
cutting attorney, arrived in our town
on Saturday last, and remained here
until Monday, when they took their
departure for Boise City. :
Mr.. Dubois is unalterably opposed
70 the segregation Of any part Of Ida
no Territory, and thinks that Idaho
should never 60 to Nevada.iA Ava
lanche, Sept. 18th.
We think the Avalanche repre-
sents Mr.. Dubois in truthful light.
We 80 understood him when he made
the canvass for the Office in the North.
Many annexationists believed and at
tempted to make others believe that
If elected he would not officially op-
pose our annexation in Congress,
while he personally was opposed to a
division of the Territory. We never
could see how Delegate in Con-
gress who told the people in the can
vass that he was opposed to certain
measure of public importance, could
avoid working for that measure when
he was called upon to act and vote
in the capacity cf bis office, and be
an honest man. He told the people
when asking for their votes, that he
was opposed to annexation and we
believed him, and hence could not
vote for him. Had other annexation
lists done as we did in the North, Mr..
Dubois would have been defeated.
We did not regard Mr.. Dubois as a
trickster dealing doubly with the peo-
pie in this matter, but many who sup
ported him, who for aught we know
to the contrary, were as deeply inn
bued with the spirit of annexation as
ourself, seemed to imagine that Mr..
Dubois, because he was Republic
an, would favor annexation in Con-
gress. Take the case of the people
of Moscow. They all voted for an
nexation save six citizens, and yet
Mr.. Dubois received 222 votes out OF
the 400 cast. In Lewiston 392 votes
were cast, and all but ten were cast
for annexation, while Mr.. Dubois re-
ceived 1872 of the votes cast. Other
precincts IN the county did the same
thing, but not to the same extent. II
he works against our annexation in
Congress, he will do no more than
what he said he would, and no more
than we expected. Mr.. Dubois has
acted honorably up to his pledges,
and we shall honor him for SO doing,
though he may injure the prospects
of our annexation. Northern Repub-
licans have none to blame but them
selves, who would not take their own
candidate at his word upon this ques-
ton. He comedies that Mr.. HALEY
was all the time for annexation in
Congress, and did what be could tc
have the bill become a law, although
it was against his own personal inter.
